BBC World Questions: South Africa
The BBC World Service programme World Questions comes to South Africa this month at a crucial time in the country's history. Opposition parties have pushed for a vote of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma, and later in the year, the ANC will vote who will replace him as party leader. Which direction will South Africa take?
BBC presenter Nancy Kacungira, a panel of leading politicians and a live audience will be in Johannesburg on August 10th to discuss the major issues facing South Africans now - social and economic transformation, black economic empowerment, corruption, land redistribution - and of course, the future leader of the ANC. Our panel comprises of Sihle Zikalala of the ANC, Leigh-Ann Mathys of the EFF, Adam Habib from Wits University and Sipho Pityana, businessman and convenor of the Save South Africa campaign.
The programme will be recorded at The Market Theatre on 10 August 2017.
The event starts at 18.00 and will consist of a drinks reception, an artistic performance and the debate. The guests are kindly requested to arrive on time. For organisational reasons we cannot guarantee entry after 18.45.
